The Easton Arts Trail
For our second event we decided to team up with the Easton Arts trail for a full weekend of bagfolking fun! We had many of the same faces including Moon and Magic, Innerspiral, Jo Buttons, Donna Padget and of course our bellydancing star Stephi who indulged us all in an interactive workshop!
There were a number of new faces who joined in the fun and helped make it a fantastic weekend! |
Our Debut event at the Greenbank Bristol, May 2011
The Fabulous Travelling Bag Folk filled the Greenbank with bunting, festive music and a wide variety of superb stalls. But it was the steady flow of Bristol residents who really fueled the festive vibe! We had a wonderful variety of stalls including jewellery, upcycled clothing, handspun yarn, crochet toys, headwear and accessories, photography and artists prints all bundled into one fabulous occassion!
Everyone looked their most fabulous on the day, fully dressed up in colourful costumes, glorious facepaint and, of course, beards! Playing around a funky sountrack courtesy of J Beats Billo we had music form Paul Reid and other DJ's who warmed up the stage for our star perfromers. The Greenbank grew silent as these enchanting bellydancers too the stage, Stephi and Suraya blew the audience away with their alluring dance. They were a fabulous end to a fabulous day and a great introduction to the banging beats from Duvet Vous!
